This is easy to do with a little bit of Emacs Lisp
00:13:45.800 --> 00:13:48.519
because (of course!) Emacs has an IRC client.

It seems like a lot of automation and Emacs Lisp,
-00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:56.439
+00:13:53.140 --> 00:13:56.899
but really, all of this was just built up little by little.

+00:14:01.260 --> 00:14:03.300
"Hey, wouldn't it be cool if..."
-00:14:02.160 --> 00:14:05.279

and then actually being able to go and do it.

Sometimes it feels like EmacsConf is an excuse

+00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.199
for me to play with Emacs.
